Out of the Blue

[Apr 27, 2011, 10:41 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Today is a special day here in the BlueTower, as MrsBlue and I are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. This occasion corresponds pretty closely with this website, which was in a fledgling state around the time we got married, and moved to its own domain 15 years ago this October. This points out how awesome my better half is, as she's been putting up with all of you almost as long as she's been putting up with me.

Anniversary Links:	Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez and Acleacius.
Play:	Mobil 1 Track Challenge. Jelly Cannon. Fully Armored.

Stories:	‘Terminator’ Back With Arnold To Star. Thanks nin. Ravitch Billed for Taxes Despite Refusing Pay. Thanks Neatorama. Driver say(s) he survived crash into Grand Canyon.
Science:	Purdue's Celeritas car scores 2,200MPG from the sun, wins Shell Eco-marathon. NASA looking to build "gas" stations in space. Capturing Energy on the Freeway. Thanks [H]ard-OCP.
Images:	Imperial Desktop. Thanks Neatorama. Carbonite Steve Jobs of the Day. Your GPS Is Wrong.
Media:	The Oregon Trail Meets The NFL. Things you CAN'T do when you're not a dog. Chameleon Frightened by iPhone.

Forgot to ask - anyone have Netflix connectivity issues via their console(s) lately? Couldn't get in on the eve of the 26th.

Congrats Blue, btw how did that conversation go anyway?

"I need to tell you something about me.."
"What's that?"
"I have roughly a few thousand kids... I run a gaming news website"
"Oh really?"
"Um.. yeah"

I am not a kid!

Same...guess I was when this whole thing started, but not for long.

Thanks Ant.

Congrats to Blue and Mrs.Blue!

If the do make another Terminator movie, and Arnold is the star, hopefully they make him not the Terminator. Perhaps it is in the future when the T1000 series is being developed and it is based off a younger image of the character Arnold plays.

I thought that of all the places out there I'd be free of the incomprehensible ramblings of Michael Pachter on NPR during the morning commute. Lo and behold, during Marketplace morning a segment on Sony and PSN comes up and "analyst" Michael Pachter is given megaphone.

Is no place safe?

I've often wondered that myself...




RollinThundr Apr 17, 2013, 12:25: Eh really tossing stuff like that in there only to get your panties all bunched up. If you really want to call that trolling sure. Mr. Tact Apr 17, 2013, 12:33: Pretty sure that's the definition of trolling...
